Remarks. The common, introduced, Asian paradoxosomatid is ubiquitous in southern Canada and the lower 48 states. It should be expected in municipalities and urban environments throughout both Dakotas and Minnesota. Gonopodal and somatic illustrations are available in Shelley (1978), Blower (1985), and Shelley and Lehtinen (1998).
